| Security in the national capital was stepped up on Monday after police received intelligence inputs about militant outfits planning a terror strike in the city.
In addition to the capital, the alert was sounded across the country in state capitals and Rajdhani Express trains.
''We received an input that some militant outfits are planning to create terror in the national capital by targeting some prominent locations and based on that we have taken necessary security precautions,'' Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said.
The input was of general nature but security was tightened in the city because police did not want to take any chance, Singh said.
Following the intelligence warning, Police Commissioner YS Dadwal issued orders for mounting vigil at all major markets and other crowded places, including malls, railway stations, Delhi Metro and bus stands.
Police presence at these places has been increased, a senior police official said, adding patrolling has also been stepped up.
''There is nothing to panic. Police personnel have been alerted. We are keeping a close watch,'' the official said.
Delhi Police have increased vigil on the city's entry points and officials are maintaining a close coordination with their counterparts of neighbouring states.
A close watch is also being kept at cybercafes and their owners have been asked to maintain a list of their customers along with server logs, the official said, adding that dealers providing mobile phone connections have been asked to maintain a list of their customers.
Last month, police had received inputs that some Kashmir-based militant outfit was planning to blow up Akshardham temple in east Delhi.
